PIPE CONNECTOR INSTALLATION
1. The crimped end of the stovepipe fits inside
the stove flue collar. Install additional pipe and
elbow with the crimped end towards the stove.
This will allow any condensation in the flue to
run back into the firebox. Secure pipe/elbow
sections with three sheet metal screws at each
joint to make the piping rigid. Screws may be
no more than a maximum of 3˝/76mm apart.
NOTE: The first section of connector pipe must
be single-walled to properly attach to the flue
collar.
2. Horizontal pipe runs must slope upwards
towards the chimney at least 1/4” per foot of
horizontal run.
3. You must have at least 18 inches of clearance
between any horizontal piping and the ceil-
ing.
4. The pipe cannot extend into the chimney flue
(figure 10).
5. Secure pipe/elbow sections with a minimum of
three (3) equally spaced sheet metal screws at
each joint and at the stove collar to make the
pipe rigid.
6. It is recommended that no more than two (2)
90° bends be used in the stovepipe installa-
tion. The use of more than two 90° bends may
decrease the amount of draw and possibly
cause smoke spillage. Where possible, use only
corrugated (nonadjustable) elbows. These
provide a better seal.
7. The connector pipe must not pass through an
attic or roof space, closet, or any concealed
space, or floor, ceiling, wall or combustible
construction. (See Chimney Connector Sys-
tems & Clearances, page 12). A UL 103 HT
listed chimney system must be used from
the first penetration of ceiling or wall to the
chimney cap. Any ceiling or wall penetrations
must conform to NFPA 211. Use only one
manufacturer’s chimney components – do not
mix manufacturers.
WARNING: DO NOT USE SINGLE WALL CON-
NECTOR PIPE AS A CHIMNEY - A HOUSE FIRE
COULD RESULT.
